Publication number: 20230288021Abstract: An intermediary support structure that includes a linear or rotational actuator to move the single display tile from a first position in a first plane along a predetermined path to a second position in the first plane. The first position is a loading position of the single display tile in the tiled display and the second position is a position in which the single display tile lies when installed in its operative position in the tiled display. When the single display tile is located in the first position, there is a distance between the loading position and the operative position, the linear or rotational actuator is configured so that the distance becomes smaller as the single display tile is moved along the predetermined path towards the second position. The linear or rotational actuator is accessible and remains accessible until an adjacent display tile is covering an access to the actuator.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: BARCO N.V.Inventors: Karim MEERSMAN, Tom DECLERCK, Bruno DEVOS, Greet ADAMS

Patent number: 10056014Abstract: A positioning device and a fastening device to fix the relative position of two or more adjacent tiles on a tiled display and to provide alignment. Fixing the relative position of two adjacent display tiles will facilitate the alignment of tiles in tiled displays where the seam between tiles will be as regular as possible, thereby avoiding the introduction of misalignments and their associated visual artefacts. The positioning device allows linkage of it to at least two tiles of a tiled display. The display tiles are often rectangular in shape and the positioning device is then located at a corner of the tile. The positioning device can also be attached to a support structure to make a tiled display.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: BARCO N.V.Inventors: Karim Meersman, Bruno Devos

Patent number: 8395636Abstract: A method and system are described for adjusting displaying of images to be displayed on a display system. The method is suitable for display systems comprising at least one hardware feature (f1, f2, f3) influencing the display uniformity of the displaying of images, such as e.g. a defect pixel, seams, variations in positions of hardware components, etc. The method comprises obtaining pixelated image information to be displayed on a display system (100), and adjusting the displaying thereof by applying a distributed variation correction signal to the displaying of the pixelated image information. Such a distributed variation correction signal thereby takes into account the at least one hardware feature (f1, f2, f3) of said display system (100) so as to influence the perception of the display uniformity.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2008Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Barco N.V.Inventors: Peter Gerets, Bruno Devos
